Trishe Green Solutions is the place where "technical feasibility meets commercial viability"

The Sun is a massive reservoir of energy and this can be used for generation of power. India has tremendous potential in solar energy. With about 300 clear, sunny days in a year, India's theoretical solar power reception, on only its land area is about 5000 Petawatt-hours per year (PWh/year, i.e., 5000 trillion kWh/year or about 600 TW. This potential of energy can be harnessed for generation of power especially in a country that is facing tremendous power deficit that between 10 and 13%.

Government Initiative
The Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) has set the ambitious target of deploying 20,000 MW of grid connected solar power by 2022. India expects to install an additional 10,000 MW by 2017, and a total of 20,000 MW by 2022.

Although the above initiative by the government is to create interest in this sector and use this abundantly available renewable source for power, investors are in a dilemma regarding the viability of solar energy due to the nascent stage in India. This is due to the unavailability of specific service package which includes a comprehensive business and financial model that provides clarity and mitigate risks associated with:

• Pricing structures followed on project basis
• Technology available
• Subsidies and incentives available
• Procuring necessary approvals
• Structures of PPAs
• Infrastructure facilities for evacuation and grid connectivity aspects, and
• Procuring funding due to the huge initial capital requirements

If such a comprehensive package is provided, it acts as the catalyst of attraction to any investor and in turn the growth of this sector which is of utmost importance for the future of India. This package is made available thanks to Trishe Green Solutions.
